I have a good story. I share for many reasons. One being for me to remember. To remember and learn. I’ve been blessed by many of these stories, but this one was probably the first to rock my foundation, my core. It let me see something bigger than myself. It let me understand the “butterfly …

What if
I’ve been thinking a lot about why all the “cutting.” The cutting each other down. Why we spend our days fighting each other? Why we divide, instead of collide? Why we see only how we are different? When we are very much all the same. All just trying to LIVE and I mean that in …
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Dear Dad, I heard you are having a hard time with this all. And now I know after speaking to you. I know that it makes you question everything that you ever believed to be true. How can a man (and woman) who committed their entire lives to the greater community, like yourselves, have such …
Karma
We have an additional family member. We actually have many. Every nanny/ housekeeper, etc has run back to our family. Some have even volunteered to quit their jobs and donate their time. One refuses to let us pay her and she is living with us. And some of these we have fired. I can’t imagine …
Certaining
You all pushed. Do something for you for your “birthday.” It will be good for you. So I did. I left the hospital and did something for me. I went to class. I enrolled in school. I’m going to go every Tuesday night. School. Back at home. Steve came with me. He wanted to come. …

Best text ever. And from the words of an eight year old. “Hi Jacob,I want you to be happier“ Thank you Henri Jacob hasn’t seen it yet, but his parents did. It lit up their night with such happiness. Oh and thank your parents too.
This is very much still on!
Thinking about next year a lot. Thinking about living my best life. Scratch that. I was living my best life, now I’m going to lead OUR best life. There’s a difference there. I’ve been planning my 40th birthday. I’ve been planning it for over a year now, way before living in the “future now.” Before …
Certain.
You tell me today is my birthday. That it is July 16th. Today I turn 39 years old. The secret is out! My age. This was once a closely guarded secret for a good decade. My age hurt my career. While everyone was trying to be/ look younger, I was always hoping to come off …
Today is “one”
Today is day one. That is how a month in my time works. There is no July 10th that will be followed by a July 11th. There is just a count. You just count. 1, 2. 3… It gives you no idea of yesterday, there is no “name,” it is just time passing. You count …
Level 11
Are you a Christopher Guest fan? As in the screenwriter, composer, musician, director, and actor? The man behind Spinal Tap, Best in Show, and my personal favorite, Waiting For Guffman? If you’re not, you should be. The first 30 minutes of Waiting for Guffman is the best. Hands down. BEST. I love mockumentaries. It’s two …
